Maybe I'm spoiled because I work with Rust primarily these days but "fighting the borrow checker" isn't really common once you get it. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

A lot has been written about this already, but again I think you're simplifying here by saying "once you get it". There's a bunch of options here for what's happening: 1. The borrow checker is indeed a free lunch 2. Your domain lends itself well to Rust, other domains don't 3. Your code is more complicated than it would be in other languages to please the borrow checker, but you are unaware because its just the natural process of writing code in Rust. There's probably more things that could be going on, but I think this is clear. I certainly doubt its #1, given the high volume of very intelligent people that have negative experiences with the borrow checker. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
